Ed Miliband is now locked in a battle with the energy monopolies that has only two possible outcomes - either he caves in or he realises that gas and electricity need to be taken back into public ownership', Anita Halpin told the Communist Party's political committee on Wednesday evening.

At a meeting of Party organisers in London this week, Communist Party of Britain chairman Bill Greenshields called on all Party members to further step up their efforts for the People’s Assembly on June 22nd, and to ensure that every community, village and town as well as every trade, profession and union is well represented.

'Austerity may be working for big business profits, but it's not working for the three million people unemployed across Britain', Anita Halpin declared at the Communist Party's political committee on Wednesday evening (May 22).

The trades unions in the pensions dispute need a united strategy for winning, giving confidence to the millions of workers involved that stepping up the fight would take them beyond ‘protest’ to real success. This would strike a real blow to the ConDems’ escalating attacks on workers writes CP chair, Bill Greenshields.
